[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 381459, member: 56"]Prinny was George IV. He picked up the moniker as Prince of Wales. Prinny, who had (shall we say) a weight problem, was the great patron of Beau Brummel. They fell out, and when Brummel was on the slippery slope, due to debt, his career pretty much came to an end when he met Prinny and Lord Alvanley at a masquerade ball at a club called Witiers. Prinny refused to acknowledge Brummel, so Brummel looked at Alvanley and famously asked, "Who's your fat friend?" That was pretty much it for Brummel.[/QUOTE]
